Koshino Happō Echigo no Amakuchi Junmai (越乃八豊 越後の甘口 純米酒)

Echigo Shuzōjo's Koshino Happō Echigo no Amakuchi Junmai (越乃八豊 越後の甘口 純米酒) is made of Gohyakumangoku rice milled to 60%. SIt has a Sake Meter Value (SMV) of -10, achieved by a brewing method called yodan jikomi (四段仕込), or "four-step preparation", involving a fourth addition of sake rice (or sometimes sweet mochi rice) to adjust the sweetness of the moromi mash. It has a mellow taste with a lovely and deep finish.

While a sake degree of -10 suggests distinctive sweetness, the Koshino Happo Echigo Amakuchi Junmai is not amazake. It is not overwhelmingly sweet. It has a fruity nose reminiscent of strawberries and a sweet, subdued mouthfeel that evolves gently into cherry-like sourness with marked alcoholic overtones. We enjoyed it even more at room temperature when it loses much of its acidity and becomes very palatable with layers of green and a pleasantly spicy finish.
